Modern magnetic resonance imaging allows to capture the moment when the brain is an innovative solution in response to an idea.
When a born idea, a specific brain area - right upper temporal gyrus, is activated and emits gamma waves.
It is a process that is the result of more activity in the right hemisphere of the brain, while analytical thinking is associated more with the left half.
Previous research on beam with a functional nuclear magnetic resonance and electroencephalogram even allow establishing his whereabouts.
Nuclear magnetic resonance revealed that the moment when the volunteers found a creative response, there has been increased activity in the upper right temporal gyrus - a zone which is activated when binding to various remote information.
EEG, in turn, showed an increase of gamma waves in the same area. Subsequently, the two scientists made a thorough investigation. They studied the brain waves range in volunteers who had to answer analytical questions related to the deduction or creative issues with ideas. The scientists realized that matching of analytical or creative thinking brain waves initially superimposed on each other, but separate 300 milliseconds before the volunteer press the button to give your answer.
